The bug
Copper golems check for explicitly minecraft:air
to determine if they can place a statue block. That means that like inside mineshafts and stuff where the air is cave_air
, they’ll never turn into statues.
How to reproduce
/fill ~-20 ~-2 ~-20 ~20 ~2 ~20 cave_air replace air
/summon minecraft:copper_golem ~ ~ ~ {weather_state:"oxidized"}
/tick sprint 500
Expected result
The golem should turn into a statue pretty quickly
Observed result
It doesn’t
Notes
May want to check for replaceable blocks instead of just air, but if only air is intended, cave air should be included
Regarding to cave air included is feedback rather than bug.
